A salvage team in Colarado
hopes to recover the bodies of five people and the wreckage of a
single-engine airplane from a southwestern Colorado reservoir today if the
weather is favorable. Divers expect to
start work this morning at Ridgway Reservoir, where the plane crashed
Saturday. Divers confirmed Monday the
bodies of all five victims are still inside the wreckage. The Socata TBM700 is
upside down and partially buried in silt under about 60 feet of
water.Authorities say the wreckage must be pulled to shore before they can
safely remove the bodies. Authorities haven't released the victims' names. But
confirmed the flight originated in Gadsden, and was flying to Montrose, about
25 miles north of the reservoir. The plane's owner, Jimmy Hill, Katrina
Barksdale, and her children Kobe and Xander, along with her nephew Seth
McDuffie, were on the plane.
